During the debate on the late la
mented Dependent Pension Bill in the
House, there is said to have been one
of the most brilliant debates ever heard
on the floor of the House Hepburn Of
Iowa, Mckinley and Grosvenor of
Ohio. and others, kept up the Republi-
can side, while Bragg of Wisconsin
kept up a tremendous fire for the Solid
South side Of the question. Bragg's
speech is described as one Of the mean
est, as well as most brilliant, heard in
Washington for long time. The Dem
ocrats showed their hands rather plain
ly in this matter. Before the Senate got
hold Of this bill, the House Democrats
were red hot for it. But when the
Senate promptly passed the bill, the
enthusiasm of the Democrats died
out, and they began to show up, and
good care was taken that the bill
should be killed.

There has been great excitement in
Indianapolis during the past week.
Robertson, Lieutenant Governor, at
tempted to take bis place and was
assaulted, being put out Of the hall.
The greatest excitement prevails.
Meantime, Green Smith, the Demo
cratic pretender to the Presidency of
the Senate, brought proceedings in
injunction against Robertson, and the
Supreme Court unanimously decided
that they had no jurisdiction in the
matter. Then the Democrats, who
have majority in the Senate, resolved
themselves into mob of swearing.
clustering bullies, and carried on in a
manner only fit for drunken brothel
This. like many other incidents that
are occurring every year, shows that
the Democratic statesmen have little
regard for law, decency, or the rights
of the people, when these clash with
Democracy. Such disgraceful scenes
as those enacted in the Indiana State
Senate go far toward lessening ones
confidence in Republican form OF
Government, and more especially in
the Democratic party. Whenever
that party gets to a point where polit-
ical ascendency seems in sight, all
reason and regard for law and decency
seem to vanish. It is to be hoped that
this distinctively Democratic trait will
soon die out of the political system Of
this country.

There may be difference Of opinion

There may be difference Of opinion
in the minds of men regarding the
wisdom or unwisdom Of the Prohibi-
tory feature Of the Dow Law, action
upon which is now pending before
Council in this place. But the fact
of the matter is, Council is not called
upon to decide the matter as to its
benefit or hurtfulness, as affecting the
business Of the town, or the method
of regulating the whisky and beer
traffic. The Council was elected to do
the will Of the people, and as major
ity of the people Of Jackson demand
in courteous and respectful manner,
the abolishing of these hell-holes, the
Council can have no more right to
attempt to evade carrying out the will
Of the people, than President Cleve-
land would have to say II know the
Constitution would have it this way,
and the people want it this way, but |
prefer to kick them out of the way,
and have it some other way" The
people have demanded that these hell
holes be shut up. Ef the Council shall
say 1--WE will not do your bidding" the
members simply say at the same time
1--WE know these dens are running hun
dreds of people every year, we know
they are a positive curse to the COM
munity, we know the people of Jack
son have demanded their suppression,
but we propose to compel you to see
your boys ruined, and to keep the
sink-holes Of perdition right before
your Churches, Sunday Schools and
Public Schools, and what are you 60
ing to do about it?" Will any man
take such a responsibility as that?

Nothing can seem greater emblem
of purity than a bouquet of beautiful
flowers. There is that about such an
aggregation of beauteous tints that
speaks to the mind, yea, the soul, Of
the wonders of the Divine Power that
created the plants and painted the del
icate tints. A gift of a beautiful
bouquet seems the purest and noblest
of all gifts. But even such beauty
and purity may be horribly suggestive
sometimes. For instance, the case Of
Mrs. Druse at Herkimer, New York,
who was hanged on Monday. The
last act of kindness toward Mrs
Druse was the sending of beautiful
bouquet by her daughter, Mary, who
is herself in the Penitentiary, charged
as an accessory to her mothers crime.
This Mrs. Druse and her daughter
murdered the husband and father, and
if we remember correctly, this is the
case where the body was cut up and
burned in stove. The daughter sent
the mother this beautiful bouquet of
flowers with letter, containing many
expressions of the hope that 1--WE may
meet in Heaven" What sad mock
cry! What vain hope, in the light

The Indiana State Senate was
turned into a bowling, roaring mob,
on last Thursday, by the action of the
Democrats, who put Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robertson out by force when he
attempted to enter and preside over
that body. Outside the building a
vast concourse of people had gathered,
and threats Of breaking the doors
down were freely made, but Mr. Rob
ertson would not hear to any riotous
conduct Inside the Senate Chamber
there was fight, and there was alto
gether high old time, where Democ-
racy bloomed in all it's beauty. That
party did full credit to its record as a
lawless revolutionary party when its
own success is endangered.

LORI Wolseley has written sketch
of Lee as soldier, and among other
things says that he "was the ideal pa
triot." Ideal patriots always take a
solemn oath to support the Constitu-
ton of their country, then go into
armed rebellion to destroy it. Wolseley
makes it appear that Lee was always
greatly outnumbsred, and thus demon
strated that he possessed greater abil-
ity as military leader than his oppo-
nents. The English General also
criticises the movements Of the Gen
erals on both sides in the matter of
seizing upon and following up advan-
tages after great battles. He thinks
the South came very near securing its
independence, several times. We are
not certain that Lord Wolsely, even
with his great ability. is a competent
critic in the matter of our great war.
The General should devote his great
military talents to explaining how it
came that a few saYages, armed with
spears, defed the flower of the English
Army under Wolseley himself, in the
Soudan. He perhaps knows more
about Ell Mahdi than he does about
Gen Lee, considered from military
standpoint.

Thomas E. Murphy sha been hold
ing great temperance meetings at
Portsmouth and Ripley. There is a
great temperance revival wave, sweep
ing about over the country. The poor
drinkers are being lifted up and en-
couraged, and an earnest effort made
to do the most good possible in the di-
rection of temperance reform. There
is one thing however that should be
carefully borne in mind in this con-
nection. There is something deeper
and grander in the work than the
mere signing of the pledge, and this
should be carefully taught. It does
not require great deal of courage to
walk up and sign the pledge, amid the
plaudits of hundreds Of friends. There
is mock-heroism about it that has a
sort of fascination. But the test comes
afterward. There should be a firm,
unwavering resolution to keep the
pledge that has been made, and not
only make the life that of a good
temperance man, but to speed on the
successful accomplishment Of this de-
sirable result by trying to forget the
past, and looking only to the future,
anticipating the beauties of the new
life, rather than brooding over the
sorrows of the old. We have known

men to quit drinking, and seem to feel
that they had made a wonderful sacri-
flee for their friends in so doing, when
in reality they had only taken one
needed step towards making them
selves decent, respectable men. There
has been entirely too much of this
gathering around the reformed man
and talking Of his wonderful "strug-
gle" If ne keeps away from the dog
gerry and tries to forget his past fail
ings, the struggle will soon disappear.
We remember conversation with a
friend regarding this point He de-
clared that when he tried to smother
the appetite for drink, there was an
irresistible craving seized him, and
dragged him to the doggery, and he
was gone We suggested the possi-
bility that, had he remained at home,
he would have remained sober All,
there was the point. He was willing
to brood over the terrible struggle, but
was not willing to keep away from the
horrible stuff. We would not be un-
derstood as claiming that there is no
struggle, for there is, a terrible strug-
gle. But "a victory is never gained
diseased appetite by constantly over
thinking and talking of the appetite,
And the friends of such reformed men
make a grave mistake in constantly
| reminding them of their struggle. "
A good lady meets such man, and
clasps his hand with the injunction,
'sstand firm, now! Remember that
terrible old appetite! Be man!' A
| few minutes later some well-meaning
Christian man meets him, with "now
my fine fellow, let the whisky alone
don't touch itr And so it goes, a
constant reminder of the old sin, a
constant keeping Of the saloon under
the nose of the man who is having the
ssstruggle." What we want is to as
sist men to get on their feet as men,
and make them feel that they are
men. with all the powers and respon-
sibilities belonging to men. Help
them to forget the old appetite, and
the old way, and endeavor to create IN
their minds the impression that they
cannot be kept sober and upright
| without some resolution on their own
part.

We believe it is possible for the he
publican party to carry the State OF
Ohio this year, and that the plurality
may be made respectable one. We
believe that the old party lacks long
ways of filling the Democratic idea
that it has outlived its usefulness.
The management of the public insti-
tutions of the State, and the general
conduct of the present administration,
proves that it is better administra-
ton than the one Immediately preced-
ing it. We do not believe our Demo-
cratic friends will attempt to success
fully deny this. The conclusion is,
then, that the Republican party is a
better public servant than the Demo
cratic party. It would certainly seem
plain to any voter and taxpayer that
the party that gives him the best and
and most economical government is
the party that me rits his vote and in
fuence. And not only do we cite the
last two administrations as showing
fine comparison between the two
parties, but the same comparison may
be traced back through the entire his
tory of the parties. The aim of those
Democrats most directly representing
and shaping the course Of each admin
istration, seems to have been to excel
in meanness the worst Of its predeces-
sors. And the Republicans are gen.
orally willing to concede their entire
success.
AS to our success this year. it de-
pends altogether upon whether we act
with that political wisdom that should
charactize so great a party as the Re
publican party, in so great State as
Ohio. We have an abundant supply
of material to head the ticket. For
aker has made a good record as Cover
nor, and would perhaps make strong
race. Should he refuse to again head
the ticket, Gen. John Beatty could
perhaps arouse as much enthusiasm as
any man in the State Then there is
another man-Keifer. The CONNER
cial is against him, which would in
sure his election, if he can only keep
it against him. And so we might go
on, naming a hundred Republicans,
either of whom could give US victo-
rious campaign, on decent platform
and the Republicans will Of course
not think of any other kind. It would
be case of political suicide for us to
permit Che Democracy to carry the
State next Fall. We have the mate
rial, and the opportunity, to make a
successful campaign. 1t is time to be-
gin to talk of this matter The only
salvation for us this year, friends, is
to act like Republicans, and conduct
a campaign up to the old time stan
dard of political work.

Suppose we fall in with the Cincin-
natl idea! What's the use of con-
stanty living as old fogies, and strut
ting around in straight jackets. puffed
up with Puritanical ideas? Why can
we not live up to the modern idea of
morality? For illustration, last Sun
days Cincinnati dailies contained this
bit of Sunday reading, which shines
forth as a characteristic bit Of Cincin-
natl morality.
about 1 O'Clock yesterday morning two citizens,
while passing along John street, between Sixth and
Longworth, were attracted by the cries offs woman
who struggling in hack which was being driven
furiously along the street. The citizens up, and
at the point of revolver took the woman from the
man in the hack. The carriage then driven rap
idly north on John street.
The woman's clothing was torn in shreds and her
neck was frightfuly bruised and showed the finger
marks of the brute from whose clutches she had been
rescued. The woman, between her sobs, stated that
she had entered the carriage on Vine street, and,
after going short distance one of the men got in
the hack and attempted improper liberties with herr
That fellow has mind of his own.
He is none Of your cranks. He does
not believe in lot of preachers and
moralists running this country. He
has rights, and he ought to have per-
sonal liberty, according to the most
approved Cincinnati idea. He proba-
bly, thinks that Jesus of Nazareth was
a myth, and that the Christian religion
is delusion. He does not, perhaps,
regard it as the public's business, and
especially the business of moralists, if
he chooses to murder helpless woman
in the streets. Let us try to bring
ourselves up to this exalted idea of
morality.

in which intelligence views such
things. Both mother and daughter
springing into Heaven through the
trap door of gallows, and the daugh-
ter, who should have been, and possi-
bly, was, taught lessons of righteous
ness, at the mothers knee, sending
last fond message expressive Of hope
of joyous meeting. Now, suppose,
according to some of the modern re-
ligious ideas. the father had been a
good man all his life, had always be-
lieved in the Savior of mankind, and
had endeavored to point others to the
light Of Righteousness, yet had never
professed to be specimen Of sanctifi-
cation, or personal holiness. The two
murderesses, of course, would go
straight to Paradise-where would the
good man who was murdered go?
"Oh," you say, ''he rejected the offices
of the Holy Spirit, and was of course
lost. A righteous life counts for
nothing" There never was greater
monstrosity uttered. A man who has
not good deal of Christ in his soul,
is not going to live a righteous life.
He may not make much noise about
it, but he has it there, and it finds ex-
preston in his life. There are moral
men, who reject the spirit, but a
righteous man is different kind of
man. The idea that the Lord will re-
ceive into His Kingdom brutal mur-
derer, and consign to eternal punish
ment the murdered man, is preposter-
GUS, unholy, abominable. And the
same may be said of the claim the
Lord thinks less Of a man who lives
right, and honors Him. than He does
of man who lives badly. and lies
about it, and charges the responsibility
up to the Lord Murderers should
feast their eyes upon the flowers upon
this side of the scaffold The gardens
on the other side are mighty barren.
